  1. Leather steering wheel for $16

    This is a nice upgrade for $16. I bought this one as a cheap one to practice on. I would like a more custom fit one that can be tucked in. The pics don't do it justice IMO, it looks better in person and feels a LOT better than the standard (sticky) vinyl wheel. I was so tired of having my hands...
  2. Prepping for spray in bedliner, tailgate inspection panel screws (Bullet Liner, RDU area)

    I have got a bunch of bolts and threaded them into my bed pre-tapped holes so the spray in folks don't fill them. Only thing left is the tailgate inspection panel with it's 8x screws. As far as I can tell, these are sheet metal screws and not regular metric threaded ones. Curious what others...
  3. [2023 Hybrid] Engine/transmission clunk while slowing, possibly in transition from ICE to electric

    While slowing down for a stop light, at approximately 20-30 mph, I noticed a loud "clunk" and felt vibration under the hood when letting off the gas and applying brakes. Felt like the motor/transmission was rocking on the mounts. This was not brake grab, it was for sure under the hood. This...
  4. Infotainment screen washed out/unreadable during day in sunlight

    I've turned everything to max brightness. Both on dash and on the screen itself. Wondering if anyone finds they cannot even read the screen in sunlight. It's especially bad with reflections off it. Hopefully an upgraded version is able to be retrofitted in the future, because it's basically...
  5. Dealer does not want to rebate price protection (2 months after purchase)

    It's been over two months since purchase (9/28/23). Dealer has been good up till now. They said price protection comes directly from Ford so I would receive that later, with me paying the current 2023 MSRP at time of sale. Wondering if there is a way I can confirm in VISIONS that they've...
  6. Extremely dim interior backlighting when dash is properly set at night

    Anyone have issues with the dim backlighting of the buttons on center console at night? If I turn up the interior brightness level to where they are visible, the dash is overly bright. If I turn the dash to normal acceptable levels (roughly 50%) the backlighting on the buttons is practically...
  7. Metal flakes in coolant; low coolant level from factory (hybrid, 107 miles)

    2023 Hybrid w/ 107 miles on it (one month old). Noticed today metal flakes on bottom of coolant reservoir closest to front of the vehicle. Both reservoirs are fairly low and almost at min level. Mildly concerning, should I have it looked at/documented? My ~30 year old Volvo doesn't have any...
  8. Which hitch / standard drop? First time truck owner. Specifically for U-haul and Harbor Freight utility trailer

    I purchased a Curt 45901 hitch and a convert a ball ball with 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" balls. The curt hitch seems way overkill for my hybrid and at the highest setting is 1-3/4" drop, the next is like 2 3/4" IIRC. Would just a normal 2" drop hitch work for towing uhaul trailers as well as...
  9. 12v solar charger where to plug into?

    I have a 20w solar charger I would like to hook up to the truck. I park for 5-6 days at a time and have been using a solar battery tender/charger for years so that it keeps the battery charged even in the winter on my other car. I'm wondering where you think the best place to plug in the...
  10. Just used iron remover on new Mav (70 miles), was a little shocked

    Being my first new car, I'd like to take care of it. Going to ceramic it with some Crystal Light DIY but first am following some recommendations. One is to use an iron decontamination product. Thinking this is BS, especially on a new car, I said fine whatever it's $15. The product reacts with...
  11. Should I buy an ESP plan? 2023 hybrid XLT

    [summary of ESP plans thread] This is my first new car ever, the previous one was ~30 years old and I repaired it myself (easy/inexpensive to work on Volvo). About me: I plan on keeping my Maverick ~10 years at least as long as it doesn't fall apart on me. I genuinely enjoy it I drive < 5,000...
  12. Where are we at on adding additional seat cushioning / firmness

    Picked up my Maverick today. Love everything except the seats which absolutely suck in the front (rear seats are nice and firm). You sink down into them, and they provide zero support. Wondering what people have done, I've seen some old threads but nothing really conclusive. I'm hoping I can...
